Description
The Lunar eclipse last night here on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. It was a VERY cloudy night which ruined my idea of having a full start to finish of the eclipse but this is what I ended up with. This is my first ever attempt at a lunar eclipse.The first moon was taken at 10:30pm.
The second moon was taken at 11:20 pm
The third moon was taken at 12:00 am
The last moon was taken at 1:15am.
I used photoshop CS5 to stitch the photos together and added a small amount of contrast/brightness.
Equipment:
Pentax x90
Tripod
Photoshop CS5
Patience

Clouds also covered it in Malaysia, but I could see post-eclipse. But I only saw a brown moon, not a red one!

Can I just remind you that you need to still rate the five (mostly mine admittedly) before yours in the Rate my Photography group.
Sorry it might not have been very clear but all you need to do is comment on the 5 preceding images with a score out of 10

I saw it too, just the very beginning. The sun was rising here when it started, so you couldn't see it well

Lunar schmunar. I would love to see -in my area- a total SOLAR eclipse. Or Betelguese blowing up !
I read of phenomena like the Eclipse Wind and the interference bands sweeping across the land as the shadow of the moon brushes us. A partial eclipse doesn't effect these.
All my life I've been an armchair astronomer. In the northeast USA.

Hey, you're from Australia? Is it true that "kangaroo" really means "I don't know understand." (or something like that)? I heard that explorers asked Australians what the strange, never-before-seen animals there were called, and, since they speak a different language, the Australians replied "Kangaroo." and the explorers thought that's what the animals were called.

i live in Australia and what the hell is this.... when you say Australians do you mean Aboriginals? because the Aboriginals only speaked in murmuring and clicking sounds to communicate.
so no.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I don't know, that's just the way I heard it. ._.
What I meant was... Well... Like... Uh... So... Is-isn't in Australia... Don't you guys have a native language somewhere in there?
(I feel like such an idiot...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nope, we came from England
other countries, especially America, make up bull about us all the time, like how we 'ride kangaroo to school"
boom, a history lesson
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm. Well. Perhaps - just perhaps - the "Australians" the explorers spoke to were, indeed, also explorers? Speaking in their own native tongue?
...
I have a pet bearded dragon. They're from Australia, right? ... What's it like there? Desert-y? Hot? Dry? That's what I imagine...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ummm, there are no such things as explorers
theirs alot of beaches here, it can be very dry,rainy, windy, cool, just like all the other countries.
reason why people think were all deserts is because one of our popular tourist attraction is "uluru"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No such thing as explorers? Surely, when you first arrive somewhere, you don't know much about it, so you explore, right? Thus explorers. If they already knew their way around, then surely they'd know what a kangaroo was. See?
Uh, how can I explain it better...
Okay so you say the English came to Australia and populated. Alright. But remember: There's a first for everything, am I right? So their first time there, they come across kangaroos, and are all like, "WTF are these" then they see some other peeps and are all like "Lets ask 'em" so they do, and the other peeps (who speak a different language (whatever that language is)) are all like "...Kangaroo?" So then the English are like, "Oh k theyre kangaroos kthxbai"
Am I in the ballpark here?

ah, here we go, this is like the same qestion you asked [link] but its proven fiction. but its still a myth (god i don't know anymore)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A myth, hm? Well okay then.
I feel like that took longer than it should have to figure out, but whatevah.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
what i ment was is that, sure, they did explore a lil' bit, but they mostly belt homes wherever they could and stuff, plus there weren't much to explore in the first place.
they would never ask the Aboriginals anything
